History

US Torcy is known for its youth development.[1][2] As of January 2020, 52 players who have trained at the club have become professionals, among them Paul Pogba, Adrien Hunou, Mourad Meghni, Yohann Pelé, and Jeff Reine-Adélaïde.[1]

The club reached the eighth round of the 2007–08 Coupe de France in 2006, playing against Ligue 2 side FC Metz.[3]

As part of Paul Pogba's move from Juventus to Manchester United in 2016, the club received 0.25 percent of the then-world record fee of €105 million Manchester United paid to Juventus, amounting to about €300,000.[4]

Ahead of the 2019–20 season, US Torcy was promoted to the fifth-tier of French football, the Championnat National 3.[1]

In January 2020, it participated in the round of 16 of the Coupe Gambardella, the main youth national cup competition in France.[1] As of the 2020–21 season, Torcy's under-19 side participates in the Championnat National U19, the highest tier of under-19 football in France.[5]
